Is it OK to ask submitters to file wishlist bugs for new features with upstream? As maintainer of spamassassin, I have generally closed bugs for new rule requests (asking users to submit upstream), simply because the number of new rule requests could get to be quite massive; these requests clutter the BTS, and generally aren't worth the effort to forward to upstream bugzilla. (If someone created a nice script to automagically forward Debian bugs to an upstream bugzilla, I would be greatful.) These bugs aren't problems with Debian but requests for improving SpamAssassin, and as a result I feel that I should not be held responsible for forwarding upstream (especially in large numbers).
